News Scroller using marquee's

OK, so I want to make something similar to this http://www.mangosteencalendar.com/ and someone said using marquee's would work. And I was wondering how I would go about making it so that it displays the data in a SQL database.

 

Thanks for any help :)

 

also, im trying to setup a apache server on my computer so that i can preview the php pages. And I got the apache, php, and mysql installed. Im just having some trouble with the phpMyAdmin. I installed it, but I am getting this error, and not sure how to fix it.

 

Error

 

MySQL said: Documentation

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

 

Thanks

A marquee may work, but Mozilla doesn't always "like" marquees, so you'll have to be looking for a text scroller instead. There are plenty of scripts available if you perform a simple search, but make sure you test them for both IE and Moz before. The website you've given as an example uses a Flash news scroller, not a JavaScript based one.

To display a dynamic news scroller, you'll need a working database and then, using some PHP you'll pass the contents of the SQL table to the Javascript that scrolls them.

Here is a rich resource of scripts and there are various cross-browser marquee scripts: http://www.dynamicdrive.com

I know nothing of setting up apache :(

Hope this helps you a little!
